First i made a bid for $50.00 for a 3* in the Stone Mountain area to no avail. I then placed a bid for $70.00 for a three star and added the Decatur area. I now know that this was probably stupid, but the reason I went up to $70.00 is because that is what priceline recommended for the area. With this bid I won. The hotel is hard to find. It is not close to an interstate. That is really the only negative. Its location was perfectly between Stone Mountain and downtown Atlanta. The subway runs a block away for any downtown travel. The staff was extremely friendly. The hotel was clean and in good condition. This is coming from someone who is easily grossed out by hotels and normally will go through the trouble of calling hotels to find out their age because I will usually only stay in new ones. Priceline placed me in a smoking room. I could not change this even when I offered to pay extra. Was told that they were booked up. I checked in right at checkin time. Parking was $7.00/day with freedom to come and go. I got a nice surprise at checkout time. For some reason I was only charged $50.00 per night. I didnt ask why. I politely said thank you. I ckecked in on 04/22/05(Fri.) and checked out on 04/24/05(Sun.) and had a total bill including taxes and parking of $128.00 plus change. With this I was extremely pleased.
